Sort of? Each parent retains custody of one of the twins and never speaks to the other until they are teenagers.

An ex-wife hits her ex-husband, a husband yells at an ex-wife and won't let her talk and grabs her by the shoulder and wrestles her around, a fiance pushes her fiance to the ground. A stepmother-to-be slaps her daughter-to-be.
All of us thought the marriage these kids were getting back together was terrible and that it shouldn't go through, so expect to be rooting against it at your movie night too.

There isn't sexual assault however at one points some of the girls cut off someone's skirt. That's right, the back gets cut off and you're free to see her underwear and it made me and all of my friends Very uncomfortable.

No n words, but they do say the g word used against romani people. Also the camp cabins are named after indigenous tribes and it feels in poor taste.

The girls' mother is called fat by their dad to say she's unappealing, which is a joke at fat people's expense for sure.

Not really, but there's implication towards it. Several times. At one point the mother is wearing a bathrobe only and the father wants her to get dressed properly so nobody thinks they just had sex.
There's a point where the mother pretends that her apron is "stuck tied on" and asks him to take it off for her.

YES IF you're like us and you don't want to see a toxic relationship resume. These people got divorced for a REASON and they SHOULD'VE STAYED DIVORCED. These two people are not at all like the ones in the remake, where it's two people who got into a fight with each other once and didn't communicate. This is a mess of a marriage my entire movie night group was rooting against.
If you enjoy the parents' romance, then it's a happy ending. If you, like us, see domestic abuse in this 60s strawman anti-divorce movie divorce, then you will find it a sad ending.
